Scream III

        The way I see it, I've got no house, no bodyguard, no movie, and I'm being stalked.

                Because someone  wants to kill me? No, because someone wants to kill you.

Having experienced the trauma of the killings it Woodsboro and at Windsor College, Sidney Prescott now lives in a secluded area of California where she works as a women's crisis counselor from her home. Her home has a security gate around it and she is now practically an agoraphobic, only leaving her house to walk her pet dog. Her whereabouts are unknown even to her surviving friends (except for Dewey and her father). Gale Weathers has become a largely successful news reporter thanks to the books she wrote revolving around the murders of the first two films and subsequent films based on the books. Despite the success, it starting to affect her personal life as Dewey has apparently given up of any chance of their relationship and dating actress Jennifer Jolie, and starting to question if everything she's done for her career are even worth the prices she's paid.

The film begins when Cotton Weary, the man wrongly convicted of killing Sidney's mother prior to the first film, is murdered along with his girlfriend, Christine Hamilton for refusing to give up information about Sidney's whereabouts. Suspected of being related to the original killings, LA police detectives led by Mark Kincaid inform Gale Weathers of Weary's murder, asking if she may know anything about a picture found at the murder scene. When she identifies it as a picture of Maureen Prescott, Sidney's mother, it becomes apparent the killings are linked to her murder.

Sidney, Gale and Dewey become involved in investigating. The cast and crew of the latest 'Stab' movie are systematically being killed off one by one, the actors in the order in which they die in the script. Sarah Darling is killed in the costume room, while Steven Stone is stabbed in the kitchen. Steven manages to amble to the rest of the cast before collapsing, dead. As paranoia sets in, a menacing fax is sent. Tom Prinze flips a lighter to read the message in the blacked-out mansion, unknowingly falling into the killer's plan, as the fire ignites the leaked gas and blows up the house, killing him and throwing the rest of the cast down the hill. The killer attacks Gale but is detered by Dewey's shooting.

Gale and Jennifer Jolie meet archiver Bianca Burnette as they investigate Maureen's murder. Sidney meets Angelina Tyler at the movie set, before wandering onto the set and being attacked by the killer, though it seems as if she imagined the whole incident.

Producer John Milton invites the cast to a party at his house. Director Roman Bridger and Jennifer check out the basement while Tyson Fox and Angelina explore the house. After realizing that the killer has tricked them into congregating at the house, Dewey and Gale split up to round up the cast and escape. Gale stumbles upon Roman's body in a chest, but meets Jennifer and Angelina. Angelina freaks out and runs off alone, and ends up being murdered. The killer brazenly attacks the remaining four and wounds Dewey and Tyson. He chases Tyson and throws him over the balcony, killing him. Meanwhile, in the shuffle, Jennifer falls through a hidden passage and is separated from Dewey and Gale. She meets the killer and becomes the next victim. The killer next attacks Gale and knocks out Dewey. He holds them hostage to draw Sidney to the house. Sidney pre-empts his moves and shoots him, but before she can release Gale and Dewey, he escapes. Kincaid arrives on the scene, and saves Sidney from an attack by the killer, but is himself knocked out.

The killer chases Sidney to a room, and reveals himself to be Roman (who had faked his own murder), the connection being that he is Maureen's illegitimate son and Sidney's half-brother. He takes out John (who had been gagged and stuffed at a corner of the room) and kills him in front of Sidney. It is further revealed that Roman is a product of rape, which occurred during Maureen's brief stint as a B-list movie actress. Roman tells Sidney that her mother left her father and cheated on him with Hank Loomis, causing Mrs. Loomis to leave her husband. Roman told Billy Loomis why his mother had left his father, and convinced him to kill Maureen. Roman also told Billy to have an accomplice who was weak and easily willing to help him out, which turned out to be Stu Macher. Eventually, Sidney shoots him, but he was wearing a bullet-proof vest. He shoots her back, but she too was also wearing a bullet-proof vest, and stabs him in the heart. Dewey arrives and shoots Roman in the head, just to make sure.

The film fast forwards to Sidney's secluded house in the woods. Dewey surprises Gale with a wedding proposal, of which Gale agrees. Kincaid, still recovering from his injuries, invites Sidney to join him, Dewey, and Gale for a movie. Sidney closes her front door but it creaks open a few moments later. Sidney walks away realizing her long-time fears have diminished and she has new found freedom.
